It’s been a month since we returned from our getaway to Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort and I’m happy to be finally sitting down to tell you all about our experience and give you an honest review of the property. It’s been a full, whirl-wind month of celebrations & other life commitments, which made it feel as though we hardly took a vacation
While we’ve been waiting for Spring to, well, spring around here (we may be skipping it altogether here in the Toronto area and going straight to Summer!), #DadChef and I have been trying out some Spring-y recipes. In lieu of heading to a busy restaurant for Mom’s Day, I’ve already given the fam a nudge that a quiet, simple celebration at home enjoying some of
If you’re looking for a beautiful way to spend some quality time with your mom or motherly figure in your life this Spring, the Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) region would make a fabulous choice. Thanks to our friends at Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake, I enjoyed the most wonderful experience with my own mom last year, so here are some suggestions for a great way to spend your
We aren’t hosting Easter this year, so brunching in our PJs most of this long weekend it will be! I shared this easy peasy, No-Bake Easter Brownie dessert on IG stories last year and it was a big hit, so thought I’d give it a respectable place on the blog. I love to cook, but I’m definitely #NotABaker, so this super easy, 2-Step Easter treat
Having just hit a milestone birthday, I’m so open and ready for this new season of life and love the growth and self-realization of this stage, knowing growing older is a gift. What I’m not so enthusiastic about? Noticeable changes to my skin (apparently 11 years of sleep deprivation isn’t so good for the dermis;), and since I’ve been asked a lot lately what advice
It’s hard to believe March is almost over…MADNESS! We’re prepping for our family vacay and have been busy with Hockey wind-downs – the boys going straight from the rink-life to BBall courts! Our big guy just made the school Basketball team (#proudparents), and to celebrate, we’re gifting one of you a 3-pack of tickets to see The Harlem Globetrotters World Tour in Toronto on April
Happy Spring, all! For those that have followed the blog a while, you’ll know this is my most favourite season…but I have a Spring-fession: I totally though Spring started tomorrow! I guess that’s what happens with the Mom RAM is overloaded and I have too many projects on the go…like our Office re-do we’ve been SLOWLY putting together and closet warbrobe overhaul. We’ve got
March 8th is International Women’s Day, and this year’s campaign encourages us to #BalanceForBetter, and think about how to forge a more gender-balanced world. Two years ago, I wrote a modified version of the following essay, and I choose to re-share each year around IWD – a compilation of my hopes as a woman raising both genders and a recommitment to how our family
With a lighter hockey schedule this weekend, and finally clearing out the flu bug that plagued our littles last week, #DadChef and I had fun cooking up our Valentine’s Day recipe we’ve been promising you guys. No matching couples’ tees this time, but we snagged the kids matching aprons for kicks – they weren’t amused 😉 When we polled you on IG stories, it was
We were happy to say ‘Buh bye’ to the longest month of the year, and “Hello” to February (aka The Month of LOVE). For us, February means lots of family connection while riding out the last bits of Winter (vision-boarding, Winter hikes & activities, board games, and this year, a road-trip to Quebec for Family Day weekend!), a low-key Valentine’s Day fam jam at home,
